Super Mario Galaxy 2: Bowser's Big Lava Power Party

Super Mario Galaxy 2: World 2 - Bowser's Lava Lair Galaxy - Bowser's Big Lava Power Party (post commentary with special guest octaneblue) I really enjoyed playing this level, and actually didn't mind that I had to play it a second time! The level itself is long but very fun, and they are very generous with the Life Mushrooms which certainly come in handy. We also get to see a few old familiar enemies for the first time, the Whomps & Hammer Bros! Very fun stuff! Be sure to use a spin jump or wall jump off the second Whomp to grab your Comet Medal before smashing him to bits. On your way to Bowser you get to practice ground pounding on goldish meteors which will be your primary attack in the boss fight. This is one of my favorite Bowser fights so far of the Galaxy series. Jon was kind enough to join me in the commentary, be sure to check out his channel!    / octaneblue   Due to issues with my original recording files, this video is a replay of the original mission. ~~Boss: Bowser~~ During the first portion of the battle with Bowser he'll use two attacks. One involves a shower of meteors which you can simply run to avoid. The highlighted areas on the sphere show where the meteors will land. If you see a large area highlighted, it means Bowser is about to use his alternate attack: A fist pound. You can just run from this as well. The fist-pound has a secondary effect, however. The meteors scattered around will be raised aloft, primed for a ground-pound from Mario. Jump to a meteor, position the sphere between you and your rival and pound it into his over-sized mug. After two hits, King of the Koopas will change tactics. His fire breath may seem impossible to outrun, but since he moves in a straight line, you can just run perpendicular to the blast to avoid it. Use the meteors to hit him like before. Two more hits and he'll be toast! More Super Mario Galaxy 2 videos: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list...
